Agreed, as long as by paring down you mean replacing everyone there with a literally decimated staff of his choosing.

Completely agree.

Agreed. The benefit of exporting it is far outweighed by the need you mention.

Oh, silly me. I forgot. There’s something wrong with wanting to put America first, especially if it gets in the way of ‘free’ trade.

Nothing more that idiots that some idiots put in congress. Probably the same morons who think oba-mao is a Morman and Ryan is black.

EPA
Nixon’s biggest mistake.
If Romney attempts run things like a CEO this dept. should be this first to go. What company would stop every possible product sitting on the loading dock, ready to ship, to be scrutinized by any and every commie hippy gaia freak?

I don’t think he would be able to shut it down right off the bat. The best approach would be to scale it down to the minimun and cut all its power so it ends up being just an administrative office, and thus finally stop being a policy making/legislative branch.

A little known fact is that Breck and Vail were once dependent on farming and mining (although the railroad and freight shipping looked important to me too, the locals never mention it).

Anyway, maybe he noticed that the landowners in Vail did much better having folks ski down a mountain that poke holes in it.

So his thought could be that we can all open resorts!

I know that he will not mind the scars and general detriments of clearing ski trails, building lodging and those beautiful gondolas with their metal towers and cables right up the side of a hill!

And there is no impact on the environment in having roads and motels everywhere in an area that has to handle 140 inches of snow a year. And they aren’t reducing what Lake Mead and Vegas get in the way of water.

“We are concerned that exporting more LNG would lead to greater hydraulic fracturing, or ‘fracking,’ activity thus threatening the health of local residents and jobs,” the letter said. “For instance, increased natural gas production in communities across the nation could negatively impact farmers, residents and local property values.”

Good Lord. How many studies showing there are no negative impacts to health need to be put out for these greenie Congressmen? The Sierra Club pays them well, it seems. And hydraulic fracturing “threatening” jobs?! That’s like saying “oxygen is bad for you”!

And why is it that there needs to be a consideration about how “property values” can be impacted when we talk about hydrocarbons, but not when we talk about wind turbines? Even though the latter showed rejection on Ted Kennedy’s own backyard, has proven to be a disaster for human health and fauna safety, certainly drops property values like a rock, and neither is an efficient source of energy nor really an environmentally friendly one.

No project unless you pay our political supporters millions of dollars in “studies” and then maybe we will let you go forward. It is a racket. It is theft.

This same bunch has already spent BILLIONS on “studies” of the Kaliphornia high speed train. Most of the money has been either parked in islands banks by now or used to buy all the land under the Eminent Domain for future profit.

Wed, 26 Sep 2012 20:31:00 +0000http://hotair.com/?p=220282#comment-6302153Sorry, but I do not believe we should be exporting natural gas. It makes zero sense long term and even less sense when you realize it must be compressed and cooled/liquified for transport. If we were never going to use it, then no problem. The fact that we will certainly need it in the future makes it crazy to export it.

Steven Chu is the same radical nut who WANTS $7-$8 Gasoline. I’m not kidding.

Why would anyone expect anything less from a rabid liberal Kaliphornian professor from Berkeley? I am actually surprised he has not discussed rationing cards for gasoline, but I am sure that’s coming.
